Ametropic amblyopia is a medical condition in which the retina cannot focus on the image of a distant object, a condition often described as reduced visual acuity. This is due to large uncorrected refractive errors in the patient's optic system of the eyes.[1][2] Astigmatism is one of the most frequent causes of ametropic amblyopia.[3]
